Too Much Ice On Fish.

ERIE, Pa, Nov. 3O.-Janes MoIaugh-
lin and Robert Pryor, fishermen, were
drowned about half mile off the shore
OF Pressure Isle today. They started out
early this morning and pulled their nets,
making such a large haul that the boat
was laden nearly TO the waters edge.
The wind rising, caused the boat to
pitch heavily, and every lurch caused
her to ship large quantities OF semi
liquid Ice. The men turned for shore,
out when half mile out an unusually
heavy foe drove large block OF ice in
TO the boat and she slid under, dissp-
peariDg from view.

The Colored Man on Deck.

ATLANTA, Ga. Nov. 30.-Prominent
recognition given negroes during the
prohibition campaign, has inspired their
leaders to essay roles Of more distinc-
ton In local politics. They hearkened
to orators OF the respective sides, who
took occasion to impress them with the
Importance OF their position, and before
the question had been officially settled,
several negroes have announced them
selves candidates fer the city council.
This is but the outgrowth OF
the assurances given them by
the anti-prohibitiOnists In return
for their support of the wet ballot, at
least this is what the prohibs are claim
ing. The movement has created oon-
siderable feeling among white people,
and especially among prohibitionists,
who attribute this extraordinary step on
the part OF the negroes to encourage
ment given to them by the ants. The
negroes will vote solidly for candidates
or their color and Ii would not be sur
prising to see one at least elected to the
city council, which Is composed Of only
six members.

FoR several days past the air has
been redolent of charges of bribery
and corruption with reference to the
contract awarded to the San Fran
cisco Bridge Company to build the
bridge across the river at kuhrts
street. The Mayor, several days ago,
announced that he would withhold
his signature to the contract for the
reason that information had come to
him that undue means had been re-
sorted to in order to secure the award,
and accompanied his message to the
Council with the declaration that
parties had filed bonds with him to
build the bridge, according to specifi-
cations, for $4,000 less than had been
allowed in the contract. The whole
matter eliminated in the drafting of
charges yesterday, at the instance of
George L. Stearns, Councilman,
alleging that the contract was
awarded to the San Francisco Bridge
Company through the illegal collusion
of J. G. McMullen, Fred. Eaton,
George F. Colts and M. H. Ledbetter,
and that the excess of the award over
what the bridge should be built for
was $5 900. Mr.. Stearns is to swear to
these charges, as set forth in the
published elsewhere,
this morning, and committee of the
City Council is to meet at 2 p. NJ.
to-day to enter upon final inves-
tigation. On the other hand
Mr.. Fred. Eaton has also had the
OF charge drawn up
against George L. Stearns, in which
be alleges that the latter offered, for
a money consideration, to give his in
huence as a Councilman in favor of
awarding the contract to build the
Kuhrts street bridge to the San Fran
cisco Bridge Company. This, too, we
are assured, will be sworn to this
and will also come before
The committee this afternoon. We
prefer to await the developments of
The investigation before commenting

Profits in oranges.

Mr.. Pixley, in his usual eccentric
policy, has added Los Angeles ana
Southern California to his list IN the
Inder Erpuyatorius which he Keeps
of things to be abused. To the Ill
informed vaporing of the argonaut,
Hon. L. j. Rose, the best-infcrmed
man in the State on this subject, has
written a reply, replete wdsh solid
statements put in most lucid style.
Mr.. Roses paper needs M propping
up. 1t is stalwart in its native
strength OF truth. AS illustrating
the matter, a few examples may not
be out of place. Mr.. I'd. G. Wilson
has a few acres on Alameda street,
set partly to oranges and partly to
grapes. The oranges last year net
ted him $500 per acre; the grapes
paid $3.50. They are the MIS-
sion variety, and therefore bring
the lowest price, and Los Angeles
oranges bring less price than those
of any other locality. Furthermore,
last years oranges were cheap. lie
will get more for the crop of the cur
rent season. Mr.. A. F. Kercheval,
the poet of tie semi-Tropics, has a
little patch of three acres, the oranges
from which he sold this year for $l.5O
per box on the tree. He will get 5000
per acre from the little orchard. j.
A. Graves, Esq, has six acres in the
San Gabriel valley, the crop from
which is sold for 81 so per box on the
trees. The fruit is not yet picked
but the best qualified judges in the
county estimate that there will be no
less than 1000 boxes, or $4,000 wortf
of oranges on the six acres. That ii
$1,000 per acre, and at that rate thu
crop. pays interest on $4,000. Col
III. R. Dobbins, OF San Gabriel
has forty-eight acres, which
constitute probably the best orange
grove of the size in the State. The
trees are free from all insect pests
and they are beautiful in their vlgol
and freshness. The varieties are o
the best known in this region. OF the
orchard thirty-six acres are in full
bearing, and the crop from these
acres has broughtin this year $4,000
the fruit being sold ON the trees fol
that snug sum of money. These are
facts to which any of these gentle
men-and they are among the bes
known and most highly esteemed II
the community-will make affidavit
The facts set at rest forever all cavi
as to the value Of orange groves as
financial proposition.
